Affiliate Marketing

After trying PPC oriented affiliate marketing for awhile, it seems that affiliate marketing is quite profitable. The difficulty in affiliate marketing is two-fold. First you need to create an ad popular enough to generate clicks and be willing to spend enough budget to get the amount of impressions needed to generate the amount of clicks you want. Then the second difficulty is that you have to make money off those clicks, more than you spent on the PPC engine, in this case, Adwords. So you don't want traffic that won't get you the conversions but you want more traffic, so you have to walk a fine line in order to get the commissions. Your skill in writing ads that get the clickers to do what you want them to do makes or breaks you in affiliate marketing.
